Monitor turns off after few minutes and I have to reboot - SUSE 11.3 KDE 4.5
 

Hi ,

I have a disturbing problem with my monitor which goes to sleep (or ??) after few minutes if my comp is not used and most of the time I have to restart my comp.I disabled everything in Powersave , but nothing. I did have that problem in previous versions of SUSE, but somehow, I solved that. I cant remember what I did then. Any help is welcome.

Maybe:

Thanks bathory. It seems that code is the right one. It works. Thanks again.

Hi,
Can you tell me where should I put this code, because I have to do this everytime I restart the computer.

Thanks

Hi,

I don't use KDE (I guess you do as you're running Suse), so after a little searching, it looks like you have to create a script in ~/.kde/Autostart (or ~/.kde4/Autostart depending on KDE version) directory:
Just make sure the path to xset is correct.
Then make the script executable
If it doesn't work take a look here for more details.

Hi,

I come across the same problem that the user has mentioned here but the code which you suggested did not work for me. I am new person to linux. I have installed OpenSUSE11.4 on a 64bit computer and I am running KDE desktop version. My monitor keeps on turning off for every few minutes.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Please disregard my previous post. The above code "xset -dpms s off" did not work for the first time. But from the second time, it started working.

Thanks
Kumar

openSUSE 11.3 has been EOL'd and Evergreen won't support it. Though, Evergreen will support 11.4 for a few years. You might want to upgrade to 11.4.
